This is the first ever comprehensive study of the Scottish medieval romances. The book reinstates the status of the Scottish
romances. It offers a new definition of the Scottish romance tradition, bringing together texts which have not generally been
considered part of the same corpus. It argues that Barbour's Bruce (c .1375) established the rhetorical devices and literary
traits which were going to be typical of the later Scottish romances. It also examines the extent to which the translation
of the four Arthurian and Alexander romances from French originals follows Barbour's precepts. These

This book investigates the political, social, cultural and economic implications of self-translation in multilingual spaces
in Europe. Engaging with the power turn in translation studies contexts, it offers innovative perspectives on the role of
self-translators as cultural and ideological mediators. The authors explore the unequal power relations and centre-periphery
dichotomies of Europe's minorised languages, literatures and cultures. They recognise that the self-translator's double affiliation
as author and translator places them in a privileged position to challenge power, to negotiate the experiences of the subaltern
and colonised, and to scrutinize conflicting minorised vs. hegemonic cultural identities. Three are the main themes explored
in relation to self-translation: hegemony and resistance; self-minorisation and self-censorship; and collaboration, hybridisation
and invisibility. This edited collection will appeal to scholars and students working on translation, transnational and postcolonial
studies, and multilingual and multicultural identities

This article examines the 1940 translation of Robert Burns into Spanish. The edition was published a year after the end of
the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), in a country which had been governed by a left-wing democratic coalition and now was ruled
by a repressive dictatorship. Despite being printed by one of the new publishing houses set up by the regime, the 1940 translation
recontextualized Burns's poems to challenge official discourses. By examining the difficult conditions under which literature
was produced and the translators' deployment of different literary strategies such as self-censorship and the rearrangement
of individual poems, this article demonstrates how Robert Burns: Poesia gives a voice to those who lost the war and to the
suppressed minority cultures of Spain. More generally, it reveals how dissident ideas within the regime were expressed through
literary translation as early as 1940 --
